How about that Ken Rockwell

[freeradical]

I knew that he was a bit touched, but this...wow...

While we're on the subject of conspiracies, what makes us New Yorkers laugh is how few people outside of New York realize that a third World Trade Center tower, WTC 7, also fell on September 11th. This is a bit odd, because no plane hit it; the plane that was supposed to crash into it fell instead into a field in Pennsylvania thanks to Mr. "Let's Roll," but the building still mysteriously fell straight down exactly like the others. Curious? Nah.

Scarier still is that the individual who held the lease on the World Trade Center complex collected over four billion dollars in insurance on a policy he had taken out only two weeks before. Suspicious? Not at all. (larger article.)

i agree with him.

there has never been a good, believable explanation.

He's really hit and miss, 9/11 aside. Some of his content is better suited for The Onion.

Sure there has. It's just that the people who want to believe otherwise don't want to know about it.

Rockwell is a tool. The plane that ended up in Pennsylvania was going for the Capitol or the White House, not NYC.

You're kidding, right? Two of the tallest buildings in the city collapse and you don't think that a third building next to it might be affected? The fact that it didn't liquify the ground at Ground Zero and bring down several blocks is a miracle in my opinion.

'believable' depends entirely on the credulousness of the reader / listener.

Hence the continued survival of stupid conspiracy theories like this one. Schmuck...

I'm a big fan of Ken Rockwell's reviews of esoteric Nikon lens.

I occasionally glean a nugget of wisdom from his discussion of cameras.

I go elsewhere for discussions of economics and geopolitics.

try Bjorn Rorslett, I think he's more even handed and a helluva lot better to read.
